" Dis play containers: for ribbon and other band-like Inaterial are known inr which anumber t wound bodies: of: the material are:

arranged-on a common spindle andproject fIYOlfirtllB: container, as through slits therein,

so that a given; length of any one may be:

' the ribbons andthe like; Another object is.-

to provide a; container whose :uprie'ht walls. will be held locked together by a spindle or other axial sup-port fonribbon or'otherrolledr materials, thus strengthening the entire contanner; e

The blank used for this purpose is preferably made oi? cardboard,i'being generally rec tangaular and with fflaipssat two of its opposite sides, and is slitted from. said' sides to the.

four corners of.arectanglewhich to form the bottomwall of the container; the material around the rectangleiwilh then comprise four .upright-walhtorming" portions two of which will have the flaps andrthe other two.

There isnothing "new in the fioregoingmi Given a container to be formed fromsuch a blank; in" accordance with. I the first-named object of this invention I'form an opening in each: flapv which extends short of its free end; one such opening may be a plain hole and the other a slot extending from the line of fold. lVhen the container is fully'formed as described these openings resultjin the container having inside opposite bearings into which the ends of the mentioned spindle i carrying the ribbonsmay be received, the

bearings supporting the spindle so that the ribbons are perfectly free. to turn and will not rub against the Wall of the container and also holding the spindleiagainst end- Wise displacement.

The'stabili'ty of the container isappreciably increased because at least one extension on either hand.

'" f islocke'd to another'portion of the container, asone of the flaps, through the 'medium of the s'pindlewhen in place; atone end of the container both extensions are locked in this way. This isv an*important feature of 'the invention because'it enables lighter stock to V be used in the blank; 2
